Brilliantly shot, amazingly written

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2016)

I came into this movie expecting a horror movie, with some drama undertones. When I watched it, I found it to be the opposite. Drama with horror undertones. The film was written in a way so that scenes that were intended to be dramatic were dramatic, instead of the outcome being predictable. I felt that most of the characters could die at anytime, which added to the tension. The movie didn't scream horror at me. It focused more on the idea that the characters find a new source of hope, only for it to be taken away. I felt that each character had a unique personality. There was one moment right at the beginning that made me shed a tear. There were some filming choices that I enjoyed, and some that I didn't. I enjoyed some of the film's choices of slowly panning the camera to the area with the most impact. I personally didn't enjoy the scenes where it seemed more like they were slowing down the frames per second of the camera to add the look of more spastic zombie movements. Overall, this is a movie that I found well above average.
